MacLEISH, Archibald and FITZGERALD, Robert

Autograph Manuscript and Two Autograph Letters Signed (Alss)

Hamden, CT, 27 February 1978 and 4 March 1978. Letters. Two handwritten two-page letters on both sides of an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet SIGNED "Robert" to MacLeish along with a page of notes handwritten in pencil by MacLeish and a small card in pencil and ink written by MacLeish. The notes refer to consciousness with MacLeish mentioning HAMLET and Beethoven: "Works of art not only suggest consciousness in others, they demonstrate it." Fitzgerald's letters are about his famous translation of the THE ODYSSEY and MacLeish's reaction to it as well as identification of Homer with his hero Odysseus, and in context is surely a response to a query by MacLeish regarding one line in the poem. In part: "The thing is that in the poem Homer identifies himself with Odysseus who famously knew the world.. He endows his hero with his own powers. Alkinoös thus observes that these powers belong to a man who knows the world.. The dramatic CONTEXT makes my rendering a true rendering. I hope this leaves it less obscure. I believe it's true, too." Fitzgerald goes into more detail, but this is most pertinent to what MacLeish has written on the small card: "Robert Fitzgerald and 'a poet -- a man who knows the world.'" In an article by poet Donald Hall titled "Visiting the MacLeishes" in THE NEW YORK TIMES on 9 July 1978, a few months after Fitzgerald's letters, MacLeish tells Hall how he read aloud Robert Fitzgerald's translation of THE ODYSSEY to his wife Ada, and how he found a line that he had never seen before, a line translated differently by other translators. "In the 11th book, Odysseus tells his story to Alkinoös, who answers him saying that Odysseus has told his story, 'As a poet would, a man who knows the world.' MacLeish pauses to let the line sink in. He shakes his head. 'These are the words that needed for years. Who does know the world? Not the businessman. Not the scientist. Yes Shakespeare, Homer, Dante. This is what makes greatness in a poet: to know the world.'. Near Fine .

The National Purpose

New York, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1960. Hardcover. 8vo. Dark blue cloth with red spine lettering. vii, 146pp. Very good. Tight and internally fine, the only flaw a lightly-sunned spine; lacks dust jacket. "Life" magazine's renowned editor Henry R. Luce introduces these ten essays, first published in its pages and here the first book edition. The other five contributors are John W. Gardner, Clinton Rossiter, Albert Wohlstetter, James Reston and Walter Lippmann. Contributor's copy, the personal copy of Governor Stevenson (1900-65) sent him by the publisher and hails from the library of Adlai E. Stevenson III (1930-2021), U.S. Senator from Illinois (1969-81). Stevenson's essay "Extend Our Vision.. to All Mankind" appears on pages 21-35. He folds down the first corner and apparently even reviewed his own essay, for several pencils rules (his typical marking) appear in its margins. Uncommon and a unique family copy. .
